Synopsis

Mahiru Kouzuki, a skilled artist, gives up on her passion after her elementary school classmates ridicule her colorful jellyfish mural. Several years later, upon encountering an unexpected admirer in Kano Yamanouchi—a former idol with a troubled past—Mahiru decides to pursue her childhood dreams once more. Tasked with designing the mascot for Kano's new music project, JELEE, Mahiru enlists the help of her childhood friend and professional streamer Kiui Watase to make JELEE's first music video. Together with Kim Anouk Mei Takanashi, a pianist and fan of Kano's work as an idol, the girls aim to turn JELEE into a global hit. However, if they want to succeed in this ambitious endeavor, they will first have to free themselves from the shackles of their pasts. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

This time we get a lot of backstory for the new member. Hope we get more on the other girls soon. Things look pretty Nanako-centric right now, I wonder how they'll handle this, since it's supposed to be an art collective, not a solo effort.
Great to see an anime original these days, and this first episode looks promising. The animation and overall feel are really good. An anime about an art collective, I think this must be a first! Looking forward to episode two!
A rewarding finale that ties together the season’s emotional and artistic themes beautifully. It feels uplifting without being overly dramatic, and the final moments leave a warm sense of growth, friendship, and creative purpose.
